Music addicted, always looking for new sounds that will shake my soul & my brain

Italian drum and bass DJ and promoter.
I discovered my passion for Drum and Bass in the early 2000s while listening to a mixtape. This pivotal moment led me to embark on a journey of listening and collecting DNB records.

Back in 2004, I was a university student living in Bologna. I started spinning my DJ sets at some of the city’s coolest nightclubs, like the Link, the Crash, and the Cacubo. I also played at places like the Fucina Controvento in Venice, the Maffia in Reggio Emilia, La Pergola in Milan, and the Villaggio Globale in Rome, and many more around Italy.

Since 2006, I’ve been a member of Sochopatix, a connection between Italian drum and bass realities, organizing important events in northern Italy like DnbNemesis, Therapy Session in Venice, Bassformers in Milan, and Torture Chamber in Bologna. I also launched SCPTX Recordings, a technoid drum and bass label that found success before closing in 2011.

After that chapter, I focused on other stuff without forgetting music. I kept going to the link club, where I grew up, as a DJ and promoter. I even organized the biggest Italian drum and bass event ever,  Noisia Invite. Over 2500 junglists from all over Europe danced the night away!

During these years I have shared the decks with some of the best and most important drum and bass artists such as Noisia, Pendulum, Andy C, Ed Rush & Optical, Spor, Imanu, The Upbeats, Mefjus, Black Sun Empire, Audio, Phace, Rockwell, Calyx & Teebee, Pola & Bryson, Synergy, Dirtyphonics, Rido, Dom & Roland, Optiv, Prolix, Halogenix, Telekinesis, Neonlights, Spectrasoul, Ant tc1, Survival, Nocturnal, Ebk, Axiom, Future Signal, Frankee, Proket, Rusher, Masheen, The Sect, Mayhem, Malsum, Counterstrike.
